Felix Lehrmann about the

importance of sound.

Sandhausen, Germany. Berlin based live and session drummer Felix Lehrmann stops by for a session at the alte Zigarrenfabrik Studios. He chats with us about the importance of sound, in the studio and live, and how he chooses instruments that complement his style of playing.

Late 2018, Felix visited the Paiste factory in Nottwil, Switzerland. He had the chance to see how his favorite cymbals are crafted by hand and gained a better understanding of what it takes to build a high quality cymbal.
